Calling all UFO's

I mean to tell you I didn't realize I have so much sh&% until I started sorting. I know I have STUFFbut I really didn't remember all that I had.

It was almost like window shopping to dump and sort and let me fingers flip through charts as my mind raced at what to do next. Somewhere along the way I came across a jumble of projects that I finished stitching but I didn't do the finishing itself. So one stop and $58 later at Joann's, I have an assortment of fat quarters of which I will use to do the finishing.

Not wanting to do the same old thing and frame this and that, I found a neat little stand to sew and stuff and display. I hope I can accomplish as easily as the directions make it seem. That's the plan anyway for these three Shepard's Bush monthlys. I have the Feb and March complete, April is somewhere and I need to stitch Jan, and August through December! I was quite proud of myself that I kept up with the autoship for six months but alas.........

So, while millions, I mean MILLIONS, are watching the Super Bowl.....I for one will follow my own drummer and be content to stitch, stuff, tuck, turn and hopefully complete a couple of projects.

PS The best laid plans......I curled up on the sofa and watched the commericials on the new flat screen tv. My drummer was not drummer too loudly I guess.

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit." Anonymous

The best portion of a good man's life is the little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.-- William Wordsworth
